you should have a back up, i install mac os X leopard but before that i have windows 7, if u have error in installing mac os x and u dont know how to fix it just remember what u change and turn it back into its old, and install windows maybe it is in ur motherboard or video card or something that cant support your os

in regards to that power sreen it is because you dont have sse2/sse3 patches installed.

but I have my own problems… it installs and it runs but when it restarts it gives me a kernel panic saying:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00399ca3): unable to find driver for this platform: “ACPI”

I haven’t tried installing through VMWare, so I’m not sure if there’s anything in specific you can set up or change from within VMWare that will help. Trial and error’s probably going to help you the most. Try unplugging any extras you have (USB sound cards, etc), install with different options, and swap around some hardware if you can. It *could* be BIOS settings, although in the past when BIOS settings have caused panics for me, they happened while the install CD was booting. Since you’re past that part, I’m inclined to think it’s something else.

I am installing 10.4.6 via VMWare. It gets installed but when I restarted, it gave me a “b0 error.” So I went into the terminal and set the partition active using fdisk. When I rebooted again, it will get to the grey screen and then will give the power logo and tells to restart my computer. It looks like a kernel panic. Please help me!

I encountered a number of failed attemptsâ€”when I booted into Mac OS X, it prompted me to restart my machine. But after several attempts, it worked. Every time it is happening so..
Also the device drivers are not working properly… The OS seems to be very slow.
